THE PLAYERS
Garth Bowen is working on a Christmas album, so we were eager to have a listen to some of those tunes, both old and brand new. In addition to the two re-conceptions of traditional tunes she played us last year, Sheree Plett brought in two Christmas tunes she's penned in the past couple weeks, and at the last minute we added her husband Jeremy Eisenhauer to the roster when we found out he had a brand new tune in his back pocket as well! And Paul Hiller (you may remember him from that hot little country swing band we had onstage for CHICKENS) brought us a gorgeous, Vince Guaraldi-inspired "I Heard The Bells" and a heartbreaking, delicate "In The Bleak Midwinter" beautifully in keeping with the gentle tone of the evening's home stretch. All ably aided and abetted by our Christmas Presence House Band - Nelson Boschman, Becca Robertson, Brett Ziegler, Kenton Wiens, Rick Colhoun and the just-barely-back-from-touring Spencer Capier.
